Are you protected by law if you give your baby your last name as the father?
As of now, Paternity Fraud is not yet illegal, though that may change.
How can i change child's last name If ex-husband is not the father?
This is what's called Paternity Fraud, since you didn't do it at the beginning. I assume he challenged paternity? You will need a court order for the change.
Can you give your child her father's last name even if he doesn't sign the birth certificate in California?
Yes, but if he's not the father, it paternity fraud.
If the baby has my last name and i get a paternity test and it turns out not to be mine can I make her change his last name from being mine?
Yes, you can always change the first, middle, or last name of a baby.
Is it mandatory in the state of Mississippi for a child to have his or her father's last name if the parents are not married but the father is paying child support?
I�m assuming the last name is different because the father did not voluntarily acknowledge paternity? I assume this because in Mississippi, if you're unmarried but paternity is acknowledged (by both parents signing an acknowledgement of paternity form) then the father�s name is listed on the birth certificate, and the child is given the father�s last name--unless both the mother and father agree otherwise (and if they agree otherwise, then I believe an affidavit has to be filed in regard to that). You can file for child support even though the child does not have the father�s last name. If Dad has not voluntarily acknowledged paternity, then paternity would have to first be established, and a DNA test would be ordered. Once paternity is established, the court will order that Dad�s name be added to the birth certificate, and "In the event of court-determined paternity, the surname of the child shall be that of the father, unless the judgment specifies otherwise." (Per Mississippi Code 93-9-9) I�m originally from Mississippi, and in every single case that I�ve personally heard of involving court-determined paternity, the child's last name has been changed to that of the father's. But I will admit that the cases I know of involved very young children (so no situations of a child who�d had Mom�s last name for 10 years and then suddenly had that changed). I'm getting wordy, I know :) To answer your question--is it *mandatory* for the child to have the father's last name in order to receive child support? No. Is there a chance that the child's last name might be changed? Yes.
I want to change my daughter's last name I gave her my maiden name at birth Her biological father is not on the birth certificate and has never proven paternity Do I still go to court?
Well, yes, because a court needs to approve the name change--which should not be difficult to do.
Who is the father on shameless?
Jamie Maguire is the biological father of Connor. This was confirmed in the last episode of series 7 when Joe took a paternity test. Jamie is still under the impression that Joe is the father.
If the father's name is not listed on the birth certificate but the child has his last name what are the rights of the father?
Yes, if he can establish his paternity legally through a DNA test. Once his paternity is established he can petition for visitation or custody and if the mother retains custody she can request a child support order. A father's parental rights do not depend on the name of the child only on the biological relationship.
Can an unmarried mother change a baby's last name without the father's consent?
She should visit the local probate and family court to ask about the requirements in her jurisdiction. If the father has established his paternity legally then she must obtain his consent. She will need to answer questions about the child's father when she requests the name change and will need to attest that her answers are true. The court may require that the father be given notice in case he has any objections.
Does the father have right if his name is not on the birth certificate but child has is last name?
No. I doubt you are the only one in the world with that last name. You don't own your last names unless you patented it. A unmarried father have rights to his child if he proved paternity in court. Not otherwise.
Can a mother use the father's last name if they were never married?
In Utah, if father isn't present at the birth of child, a paternity test has to be performed in order to list him on birth certificate.
Can a mother name a child after a assumed father if man denies paternity?
You can name a person any name you please, last name included.
